About: I am DevOps enthusiast . My adventure in the tech world began over a decade ago. With a background in computer science, I started my career as a systems engineer. The thrill of building applications and solving complex problems captivated me, but I quickly realized that coding was just one piece of the puzzle. The real challenge — and reward — lay in ensuring that the software worked seamlessly in production, scaled effectively, and was robust against failures.
This realization led me to the world of DevOps. I immersed myself in the principles of continuous integration, continuous deployment, and infrastructure as code. The more I learned, the more I appreciated the profound impact DevOps practices could have on both development speed and operational reliability.
